Praise the Lord Pastor. Today's message 'Jezebel spriti in the church' has been so powerful and thought provoking. I would like to share what the Lord has been doing in my life. Around 2 months ago, I was led to hear a message from Time Square Church on 'Husbands to be the head of the Home'. The link was forwarded to me by a friend who asked me to share it with my children, as they are of marriagable age. So, prior to sending any messages to them, I prefer to first hear it. and that is when the message spoke volumes to me. It was as though the Lord laid it on the pastor's heart to spek this message ONLY FOR ME. Just like in your message, this message clearly demarked between authority and control. You see pastor, all through these years (30 years) I could never understand what the actual problem was. I only knew I was miserable on the inside, crying on the inside, but living a very normal (happy life) on the outside. With a husbank who was so differnet with me and so very different when with other people around him. This message actually opened my eyes to my reality and helped me understand what is going on in my life. There was an incident, where I was confronted by this controlling spirit. All these years, I have only been quiet, thinking that he just has an angry temper and I need to bear all things and persevere. This was my understanding. But it was killing me on the inside and I have all sorts of ailments- palpitation, migrane, sadness of heart with no joy on the inside, but everything around is happening- good job, nice house, nice car, nice children, church going, everything. So, as I mentioned, after I heard this message and when I was once confronted by this controlling spirit, I did not remain quite, but the Lord gave me the boldness to confront. I spoke clearly and said, that as long as they place me in the grave, I will always respect the authority that the Lord has place over my life (my husband) but I will not for a moment, entertain this kind of control over my life. The conversations were not pleasant, but I was firm and stuck to only the points that I needed to speak. After this, I took a strong stand on tithing (which was never allowed). I told him that this month end, if we are not tithting, I will submit my resignation letter. And from that month end onward, he unwillingly but forcefully was led to set aside the tithe money from my salary. The first month, it was sent as per my direction (to Mangalore Hope City Church). But after that, he is insisting not to send to someone whom we do not know. But he is setting aside each month the tithe money into another account. I praise God that at least the setting aside is happening. What I am trying to convey is, you spoke about man being the head of every home. In our home he is the head and a very responsible head. He takes care of everything and ensures that money is not wasted. I respect him for that. But basic things for the Kingdom of God is not done (nor does he allow others to do it). Now I am voicing my desire for baptism (which has been pushed under the carpet these several years, though he knows my heart). Everything needs to be battled. To this day. But I know that the Lord is working faithfully. I only need prayer support for wisdom to deal and to tackle.
Sister, We are so glad to hear how God has worked in your life. We will continue to pray for you! God bless.
Amen
